Considerations for Returning to In-person Worship

"Being Church Together During the COVID-19 Pandemic"
May 14, 2020

Dear Synod:  

You know I have taken a very clear "God given smarts " and "safety over rushing" approach to the question of how soon we should gather again in person as congregations. In addition to the guidance I have been offering and posting on our media outlets to our Synod, here is the May 12, 2020-  ELCA Official Guidelines for Considering Returning to In-person Worship .  Our ELCA staff will monitor changing developments and update these guidelines accordingly and I'll see that they are offered through our Synod's publications as well.
